Tonight Devin dusted off his old telescope and we all did some night sky gazing. Our first view was of the moon in its waxing crescent. Sierra and I both said " Oh MY GOD!! That is soooo cool!! " It is really something to see for yourself and not just in a picture. We could see the craters and everything. After quite a bit of work, Devin managed to find Jupiter and its four Galilean moons: Ganymede, IO, Callisto and Europa. Ok this picture is way better than what we saw, but I was able to see the rings of Jupiter and four balls that just appear to hang there as if on a string. We got our stimulus check today, so we are thinking of buying ourselves a better telescope from Craig's list. Hurrah!
